STEPHANIE CAMINS – Clinical Director – MA, LPC

  • Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) #3338
  • EMDR Level 2 Certification
  • Certified Hypnotherapist
  • Divorce and Child Custody Mediation Certificate
  • Master of Arts, Counseling Psychology – University of Northern Colorado
  • Bachelor of Arts, Psychology – University of Colorado Boulder

I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and families for 15 years in a variety of mental health and educational settings with a focus on increasing personal strengths and fostering healthy relationships. I specialize in the treatment of trauma and anxiety, along with depression, stress management, life transitions, relationship issues, parenting, interpersonal struggles and work and career issues.

In working with clients I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, hypnotherapy, client-centered and systems modalities, tailoring treatment to the specific needs of each individual. Therapy is a collaborative effort in which client and therapist work jointly to identify barriers to growth, resolve past traumas and focus on strategies to improve wellness. My approach to counseling is warm, collaborative, supportive and direct. My belief is that every person has the ability to heal, change and grow. A strong therapeutic relationship encourages trust and allows the client and therapist to work equally in a team approach on difficult issues. As part of this process, I work to create tools and coping skills to fit the needs of each unique person using a variety of techniques.​

  • Master of Arts, Mental Health Counseling—Northwestern University
  • Bachelor of Arts, Psychology—University of Nebraska

Prior to my therapy work, I have worked with both adults and teenagers in transitional housing. I have over 6 years working with both adolescents and adults in a mental health setting. The individuals within this population struggle with; substance use, depression, anxiety, PTSD, sexual orientation, gender identity, body image, eating disorders and more.

While working with a variety of individuals amidst life transitions, depression and anxiety; I enjoy the ability to work collaboratively with clients to find a treatment that is best suited for them. I truly believe each client presented offers a unique experience and treatment should be tailored to fit their needs.

My goal is to provide a place for individuals to feel valued and heard. Acceptance is provided in order for individuals to feel safe vocalizing their struggles and emotions. I practice with sincere, direct and open communication in order to build the therapeutic alliance with each client. This foundation of therapy is what I strive to offer.

I chose this work in order to support each individual on their journey. I am moved by the connection that is formed with each individual in the therapeutic setting. I am privileged to witness and support each client as they begin feel empowered and motivated while growth and change is occurring.

ALEXA ASHWORTH – MFT Intern

  • Master of Arts in progress, Marriage and Family Therapy – Regis University
  • Bachelor of Arts, Community Psychology- University of Saint Cloud State

As a pre-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in working with couples, families, parent-child relationships, and individuals.

I have always been passionately motivated to pursue a path where I am able to sit with other’s pain, providing the space one needs to find their own inner light.  Since I was a little girl I have been constantly evolving into who I am today. The woods in my backyard growing up were a vast, entangled play area where my mind was able to run wildly. It started as a place to pretend and over the years became a sanctuary to meditate in and journal personal thoughts. I believe the place of peace I found in the woods is also that place of peace that can be found in the therapy room. This being said, my style of therapy is very experiential and I choose to work with clients as a whole person.  It is my belief that every person can heal and grow through seeing the mind, body, and spirit as one.

I have an extensive and experienced background working as a Youth Treatment Counselor for adolescents and young children under the age of ten.  Both populations I worked with were at risk for suicidal ideation, had self-injurious behaviors, struggled with major psychological needs, and endured the discomfort of deep emotional scars that have been imprinted on their lives from traumatic events.  Alongside working with at risk youth and children, I have been a nanny with different family systems for eight years.  Each family has shown me that when one another are being heard and emotions are validated, everyone has a larger sense of belonging.

I have also worked with individuals who have struggled with depression, loss, low self-esteem, high anxiety, or role confusion through volunteer and mission trips.  In this recent year I have started to gain experience working with couples and families as they have encountered challenging life transitions or unknowns of a new directional path.

By more fully loving ourselves and knowing who we are, we can then know how to have better relations with others.  Especially those we love.  Love for me is the main source of finding unity within oneself and union with another.  We are all capable of this discovery.

MORGAN BLAIR – MA Intern

  • Master of Arts, Mental Health Counseling—Northwestern University
  • Bachelor of Fine Arts with an Emphasis in Art Therapy – Art Institute of Chicago

For the past 8 years, I have been working in various areas of the eating disorder community. First as an advocate for increased awareness and legislative change and now as a mental health counselor for those fighting to find their own recovery. I have worked in various leading eating disorder facilities and have seen both the benefits and drawbacks of the current methods of treatment.

I am passionate about taking my previous experience and insight and blending it with each individual’s unique perspective into their own needs. I am not like other counselors, meaning I don’t strictly adhere to the traditional methods of treating eating disorders. Rather, I offer an alternative approach to eating disorder recovery that incorporates holistic interventions specific to each individual’s needs. With a background in yoga teaching and art therapy, I commonly incorporate these interventions when supporting clients. I believe that our psychological states cannot properly be addressed without also attending to our physical and spiritual selves. By connecting with our creativity and passion, as well as processing our body’s natural changes, I believe true and lasting recovery can be found.

 

I am here to serve and support you. If you have been stuck in a cycle of treatment stays, traumatized by the quick weight restoration process, or are simply feeling confused about how to find recovery, I am willing to work with you to try something different.

Whatever emotional struggle, stressor, or disorder an individual is struggling with I am certain there is a unique approach that will lead to healing.”

Hi.  I am so glad that you’re here.  I want you to know that you have the power within you to transform your life and it would be my absolute joy to help you to harness that power. My wish for you is that you create the change in your life that you desire.

No matter where you are on your journey, I want to walk beside you to help you to determine the best path forward.  I utilize both evidenced-based and mindfulness-based mental health treatment to facilitate change.  I work holistically, always seeing the whole person to understand needs for healing and growth.  I believe that through the mind, humans have the ability to control how to interpret our interactions, through the body we determine how we experience the world, and through the spirit we get to determine what it all means.

My background and clinical training is in Marriage and Family Therapy.  I specialize in working with individuals and couples as they seek to develop fulfilling connection within their relationships and also have significant experience working with children and teens.

I hope to provide a secure space for you to explore your emotions, relationships, and experiences in a way that will promote healing and growth.

KAYLA CURRIER – Psycho Educational Group Lead

  • B.A. Elementary Education

I am currently completing student teaching as a Kindergarten teacher at Weber Elementary.  I have endorsements in special education, as well as, culturally and linguistically diverse education. I have taught in a classroom for children with autism in Westminster Public School district where I received training in emotional and physical support including sensory interventions for children 4-12 years of age.

I have training in curriculum development for WONDERS, PMI, PSI and Zones of Regulation. I also have training in DIBELS testing and running records for children struggling in literacy. In this practice, I look forward to helping children learn self-regulation in social and emotional situations. Social and emotional self-regulation is important in helping children master new challenges, increase self-esteem and improve pro-social interactions.

I enjoy working with children, teens, families, and couples. I have been fortunate to be able to work with each of these groups throughout my life.

As a wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, combined with 25+years of experience in my career as a registered nurse, I understand the joys and the challenges life can offer.

As a young adult, I counseled teens in recovery from substance use disorders and helped their parents work through the transitions and changes necessary to that process.

As a nurse, I provided care for patients and their families in a Neurotrauma Unit and later worked with patients in recovery from alcohol and/or substance abuse on an Addictions Rehabilitation Unit.

As a Certified Nurse Case Manager I worked on-site with individuals who had sustained catastrophic work injuries.  I worked closely with injured workers and their families to coordinate medical care, provide education and offered support throughout the acute and rehabilitative phases of recovery.

I currently volunteer as a mentor with women who are in recovery from substance use disorders providing support for them as they struggle with rebuilding their relationships with friends, family and in their work environments.

While undergoing treatment for breast cancer I was introduced to mindfulness-based stress reduction and these techniques I still use today. I incorporate mindfulness in my work with clients as a tool for stress reduction.

As a therapist, I strive to truly listen and be present with clients with empathy and authenticity.

I believe seeking and maintaining a connection with one another is innate, and see my role as a facilitator in helping clients build stronger connections and improve their communication with one another.

I use a combination of an experiential/relational approach; Emotionally Focused Therapy techniques, Emotionally Focused Family Therapy techniques, Gottman techniques, Play Therapy and Filial Therapy.

HANNAH ASLIN – MA Intern

  • Master of Arts in progress, Counseling Psychology – Northwestern University
  • Bachelor of Arts- Psychology and Spanish for the Health Professions – Marquette University

My career path of becoming a clinician started during my time in undergraduate studies where I learned the breadth and depth of psychology. From there, I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in the helping profession and craved to learn more about the intricacies of mental health. During my time in my Master’s program, my desire to help those who are struggling and are in need of mental and emotional healing has continued to grow and intensify. From the short time I have spent with clients, I have learned that there is not one type of client and there is no “one size fits all” approach in treatment. Because of this, I am dedicated to work with clients in a collaborative way on top of utilizing methods and techniques that I see clinically fit in order to give the clients an optimal counseling experience. I am currently working towards becoming a child and adolescent counselor but am open to working with clients of all ages. Although I don’t have much experience clinically, I am eager to learn and further my clinical training at Road to Growth!

Mediation is a positive way to resolve important disputes . The mediation process seeks to find a “win-win” solution for both parties who agree to work voluntarily for a mutually satisfying agreement. Successful mediation protects the relationship in the process of solving difficult family problems. Mediation services offered include: parenting time, minor decision making, elder care, and adult family conflicts involving step families, in-laws, and parent/adult children disputes.

In play therapy, toys are the child’s words and play is the child’s language (Landreth, 2002). Using play therapy, therapists help children learn more adaptive behaviors to improve emotional-modulation, resolve trauma, address social skill deficits, improve communication and problem solving. Play therapy provides an avenue for young children to express their experiences and feelings in a safe and neutral environment.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is an integrative form of therapy focusing on processing distressing events and memories, correcting distorted thinking styles, and eliminating negative emotions and behaviors caused by unresolved issues. EMDR uses an 8 phase treatment model aimed at the resolution of traumatic and adverse life experiences through the use of standardized set of procedures and clinical protocols.

Hypnosis is the method a therapist uses in conjunction with therapeutic work.  The therapist acts as a guide taking clients to a deeper level of the subconscious than they could normally achieve on their own. In this state, the client is highly suggestible, allowing the therapist to then deliver appropriate positive suggestions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy identifies unhelpful patterns of thinking, behavior and emotional regulation.  Clients learn specific coping skills to change thought patterns and behaviors which lead to improved emotional states of being.

Dialectical behavioral therapy is a cognitive behavioral therapy approach that teaches skills including mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness and emotion regulation.

Telemental health provides counseling from a distance via online conferencing. The client and therapist are in two different locations using a secure interface for sessions.  The benefit to doing therapy remotely includes convenience and increased accessibility to services.  You simply need access to the internet and a private location.

There are several models of Clinical Supervision including developmental, psychotherapy based, and integrative models.  I follow most closely the developmental model.   Supervision moves from most directive to least directive as a counselor in training develops knowledge and increases their skill base.  Areas of supervision include:

  • intervention
  • skills competence
  • assessment techniques
  • interpersonal assessment
  • client conceptualization
  • individual differences
  • theoretical orientation
  • treatment goals and plans
  • professional ethics

Supervision is tailored to meet the needs of each counselor’s experience and skill level.
